The poet Celia Thaxter, in a white dress, stands among hollyhocks and poppies in her garden on Appledore Island, the sea behind her. Hassam painted her there in 1892, two years before her death; her book An Island Garden, published in 1894, was illustrated with his watercolours. It is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
